First 1,000hp Hummer EV arrives in UK

High-performance and luxury car specialist Clive Sutton has brought the first GMC Hummer EV Pickup to the UK.

The fully-electric truck pairs more than 350 miles of zero-emission range and with 1,000hp and 1,200lb-ft torque, the electric Hummer can hit 60mph in just 3.3 seconds.

Measuring 2.0 meters high, 2.34m wide, and more than 5.5m long, an optional ‘Extract’ mode allows the entire truck to raise around 15cm, while the air suspension also works to optimise aerodynamics by lowering the car at motorway speeds.

Clive Sutton, Founder and CEO, said: “As soon as the GMC Hummer EV was announced our customers have been desperate to see the model in the UK! Now that we have imported the first one, we anticipate orders outstripping supply as buyers clamour to be among the first in Europe to own this electric supertruck.”

Off-road, owners can benefit from independent front and rear suspension, full underbody armour, rock sliders and the optional ‘Ultravision’ system, which utilises 18 cameras to provide every possible viewpoint, enabling accurate navigation around obstacles or in tight spaces.

When the Hummer lands in the UK, it costs substantially more with international shipping, VAT duty, local registration fees, and vehicle conformity testing taken into account. So, the Edition 1 model costs around £320k on-the-road (subject to the US price and current exchange rates). Within the price the Sutton team handles the entire process from end-to-end providing a manufacturer-style experience for customers. The Sutton team also offers a two-year / 50,000-mile warranty with each Hummer EV.
